You're a Big Girl Now (Bob Dylan cover)

Cast of Characters:
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen–acoustic and electric guitars, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –piano, synth, composition, vocals, and lyrics
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez–electric guitar
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–five-string fretless bass and lap slide


  This song began its life as a composition that JJ wrote one evening on the piano and synth. He also wrote the lyrics and sings this one. He was very excited to share it with us, so he invited Josh, Ken, Stephen and Tez into the project immediately after finishing. However, we couldn't make the thing work at first, so JJ went back and retooled it, streamlined it, and gave it back to us. We all really liked the Floydiness of the groove, and his signature psychedelic coda ending. 
  After Ken had laid down his inspired, foundational  drums, Josh laid down his bass part with his big monster five-string bass, which is good for really low tones. Then it was Tez's turn. He came up with something very Gilmore-esque, with his always exciting leads throughout the first section. Stephen then added some brilliant, filling acoustic guitar to the first section. He, along with Tez, also added some trippy electric guitar to the coda. Finally, Josh just thought it needed something to push the coda over the edge, so he added the slide at the end, too.
  Then, of course, we asked Stephen to produce and mix it for us, which he did in his always expert way. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. Also, we wish a very happy holidays to everyone! 

JJ's lyrics:
PUSHED AND PULLED AND SWUNG THE CLEAVER
MY TIME IT RAN AWAY.

FOOLISH HEART AND SOME DECEIVIN’
DIE TRYIN’ TO STAY AFRAID

DESERT CHILL IS WHERE IM SLEEPIN’
HARD NIGHT TURNED INTO DAYS

BETTER GO AND FEED THIS FEVER
TWICE BLINDED BY THIS FAITH



SHOULD’VE KNOWN WHILST IN THE SEASON
BEHIND BLIND BRAVEITY

TRUTH COMES HOME TO ROOST THE RAVEN
FIVE STEINS MADE OF JADE

TREASURED HILL THE SUNS RETREATIN’
CARD PLAYED YOUR HANDS AN ACE

LET IT GO THIS BIRD IS DREAMIN’
DICE LANDED AT THE TRAIN



COULD’VE SHOWN MY HEART’S REATREATIN’
BLIND SIDED BY THE SEA

PLEASURED TONE OF THE BALLADEER
FIND A HIGH AND LONELEY PLACE

SEED IS SOWN THIS HEART’S STILL BEATIN’
FIVE LIONS IN THE DEN

GETTIN’ COLD THE BEAST IS LEAVING
SOUTH BOUND IT ALL THE WAY

Mood Exhibit & Pfaender - When we Felt

Lyrics:
It is always on the lurk
...merciless, so merciless
Interfering everywhere
...heedless, so heedless
Has to judges everything
...soulless, so soulless
Influences you all the time
...shameless, so shameless

Riot in the head,
makes you crazy and mad
Jumble in the brain,
gives you harm and pain

Listen, careful, realize, that's all just your monkey mind
Shows wrong way and it makes your soul blind
Wake up, heedful, feel it all, that's all just your monkey mind
Let it go and peace will you find

It kills silence and leisure
...peaceless, so peaceless
Always chattering to you
...ruthless, so ruthless
Jumping wild from thought to thought
...restless, so restless
Doesn't let you sleep at night
...shameless, so shameless

Riot in the head,
makes you crazy and mad
Jumble in the brain,
gives you harm and pain

Listen, careful, realize, that's all just your monkey mind
Shows wrong way and it makes your soul blind
Wake up, heedful, feel it all, that's all just your monkey mind
Let it go and peace will you find

Riot in the head,
makes you crazy and mad
Jumble in the brain,
gives you harm and pain

Listen, careful, realize, that's all just your monkey mind
Shows wrong way and it makes your soul blind
Wake up, heedful, feel it all, that's all just your monkey mind
Let it go and peace will you find
